Frequently Asked Questions
What is Functional Health and Wellness?
Functional health looks for the root cause of your symptoms, not just a quick fix. While traditional care often treats symptoms with medications, we ask why you're tired, gaining weight, have joint pain & muscle aches, and brain fog. We use advanced lab testing, spend time listening to your story, and create a personalized plan to help you heal. It's especially helpful for women who've been told everything is ''normal'' but still feel exhausted, anxious, or out of balance.
How is Functional Health and Wellness Different from Conventional Medicine?
Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats symptoms with medications or surgeries, functional approaches seek to understand and address the underlying factors contributing to health issues. It emphasizes a holistic approach, aiming to promote wellness rather than just managing disease. This comprehensive approach promotes long-term wellbeing and helps prevent chronic disease.
What Conditions Can Functional Health and Wellness Address?
Functional methods can address a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions, including digestive disorders (acid reflux, IBS, leaky gut), hormonal imbalances (thyroid, PCOS, adrenals, menopause), autoimmune diseases, metabolic issues (diabetes, insulin resistance), chronic fatigue, and more. It's particularly effective for conditions with complex underlying causes.
How Do I Know if a Functional Approach is Right for Me?
A functional approach is ideal for those who want to address the root cause of chronic health issues rather than just managing symptoms. It may be a great fit if you:
● Have persistent or complex health concerns
● Seek a holistic approach that considers lifestyle, genetics, and environmental factors
● Want to take an active role in your health journey
We work closely with patients, empowering them to make lasting health changes.
What Can I Expect During My Visit?
During a functional health and wellness consultation, you can expect a comprehensive assessment of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle factors, and environmental influences. We will work with you to develop a personalized plan focused on addressing the root causes of your health concerns. We may recommend advanced diagnostic testing to gain insights into your health needs. The goal is to develop a personalized plan that addresses your unique needs.
What Supportive Modalities Does a Functional Approach Use?
We incorporate a variety of supportive options including nutritional therapy, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, targeted supplementation, detoxification protocols, and mind-body therapies. The approach is highly individualized based on each person's unique needs.
How Long Does it Take to See Results?
The timeline for experiencing improvements varies among individuals and depends on the nature and complexity of the health issues being addressed. Some individuals will notice changes within a short time, such as weeks, while others (especially with longstanding chronic conditions) may require several months to achieve significant results. Consistency in following the recommended suggestions is crucial for optimal outcomes.
Are Your Practitioners Primary Care Providers?
No, our practitioners specialize in functional health and wellness and act as consultants in preventive, nutritional, and holistic health. We do not replace primary care providers. We encourage all patients to maintain a relationship with a primary care physician for routine medical needs and acute care. However, we are happy to collaborate with your healthcare team to ensure a cohesive approach to your health.
